1."On the list of qualities necessary to humans trying to make our way through life, truth scores fairly low. Why do people believe and do weird things? Because in the end, feeling alive is more important than telling the truth. We have evolved as living creatures to express ourselves, to be creative, to tell stories. We are instruments for feeling, faith, energy, emotion, significance, belief, but not really truth." Louis Theroux

2."But people don't change their beliefs easily. Even when their deepest convictions are challenged – by the failure of the world to end, for example – they continue on their way, sticking to the old routine: they get back on their weird bikes and ride again." Louis Theroux

5."She said. "I actually had my butt torn a few weeks ago. But it's like any job. You have good days and bad days." Louis Theroux

6."When you don't have access to a subject, and all you have is ex-members and critics, there is this gravitational pull toward telling a certain version of events. Scientology would say this, and they have a point, that it's like doing a portrait of a marriage in which you're only hearing from the ex-wife and not the ex-husband." Louis Theroux

10."Perhaps it's understandable to be more jaded on one's second exposure to something strange." Louis Theroux

11."It's difficult to describe the weirdness of speaking to a man who appears to be perfectly in control of his faculties, who can deliver off-the-cuff repartee, and yet who is actually utterly disconnected from who he is." Louis Theroux

12."I've always seen TV as… it didn't occupy the same rarefied space as literature, but it's art you can use day to day. I've never been hung up on where it figures in the hierarchy of learning." Louis Theroux

13."I don't like that feeling of holding back difficult questions. I feel like the more I can be transparent in the way I approach a story, the more it makes a satisfying programme." Louis Theroux

14."Clearly I'm able to read emotions. But I do feel… What is it? Awkwardness. I'm not a slick dude. That's what it comes down to. The nakedness, the guilelessness… that's quite real." Louis Theroux

19."Weird Weekends set out to discover the genuinely odd in the most ordinary setting. To me, it's almost a privilege to be welcomed into these communities and to shine a light on them and, maybe, through my enthusiasm, to get people to reveal more of themselves than they may have intended. The show is laughing at me, adrift in their world, as much as at them. I don't have to play up that stuff. I'm not a matinee idol disguised as a nerd" Louis Theroux

20."I sometimes get accused of being 'faux-naïve,' but for me, it's really just about getting down to the basics of something." Louis Theroux

21."It's an industry of lonely people in a crowd, Bill Margold was saying. 'They're scared to get close to each other. You're far better off having someone to sleep next to then having someone to sleep with because you have to trust someone you sleep next to." Louis Theroux

22."In my normal way of doing things, there's a little bit of 'going native' that takes place, where you're in a world long enough, you can't really help but start to see things in a nuanced, more humanistic way. Just because you're with people and you start to in general slightly like the people you're with." Louis Theroux

23."Maybe the things that thrill me aren't going to get me 500 years in prison." Louis Theroux

24."When interviews are too cosy, I don't enjoy them." Louis Theroux

25."When you're in your 40s, you become more conscious of life being of limited duration and that you need to create memories and go on little adventures from time to time." Louis Theroux
